mmf- I agree. I am so priveledged to have her and the folks of this bb in my life. I don't believe in coincidences.
Punkt-If only we had a time machine.
Imageer-I was told he was not in love with me and wanted a D. He blames me for alot. Some of which I am responsible for. I think he has an avoidance problem. So, I suspect it isn't so much show as when he does make a move he's not likely to turn around. I think he may be confused, but mostly depressed.
kiki- hey there! Thanks for the compliment on my name. I suppose this is kind of twisted, but I chose it for Grace O'Malley (yes, the pirate) and b/c I strive for grace (but her story really had me decided).
Ingrid-I think I find it disturbing that I don't see the slang as outdated.
I do give him credit for being here to raise our D's. If he does nothing else, that will be enough. They (H and D's) deserve that.
I have given that dating thing alot of thought. B/c H is so adament that it's over. I was raised without ever knowing my father and I can attest to some of the stupidity girls in that sitch go through. Also have had friends with lots of "Uncles" growing up. Having said that my personal (not judging anyone else's position here) take is that I will not date unitl D12 has graduated from HS. I thnk itdoes a couple of things I'm NOT interested in. 1.Puts my lovelife before my D's. Let's face it, in a new R where is your focus? 2.Puts my D's at risk with a man who wouldn't be their Dad (providing I left them alone with him or remarried). I know it's only six years and I can do it, but I 've got to say that I really miss some form of romantic affection. I know we all want that. My age doesn't help me either. I'll be 57 before I'll consider myself available for dating (should H D me). On the plus side, I would be older, but a whole LOT wiser.
